I always put it off because I assume that cost of wiring would be a lot, especially when my buildings are about 100 yards from each other OR paying for a wireless service to provide the connectivity.

We also have thought about turning this property into a short term rental as well due to its lack of yard and location.

At that time no salvage was even picking up (post hurricane). 

With condos/townhouses check condo rules to see if you can do short term rentals.Given a choice, a townhouse gives you a bit of a yard and a private entry and no shared space. 

Our upgrades include the sink vanities in both bathrooms, upgrade the master bathroom's shower, build a privacy fence in the back yard (very rare find in the local market and no fences at all on this street),paint and refurbish the cabinets, paint the floor trim and replace the flooring. in both units of course.

I want to offer him a chance to box me in the yard.

Has a large back yard and comes with a carriage house.

You can use a big lock and have it in the front yard where people/neighbors will see suspicious activities and alert you before something might happen.Hope this helps,Claudio
